ADPH Says Vaccine Administration is Limited at this Time
The Alabama Department of Public Health issued a press release on January 11, 2021, urging Alabamians to have patience in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. According to the release, the vaccine is available to healthcare workers, people age 75 and older, law enforcement officers, and firefighters. As of January 18, 2021, the state is now in Phase 1B of the allocation plan developed by the State.
The Department also announced the creation of an online registration portal in addition to the hotline developed for Alabama residents to sign-up to receive the vaccine. Both the portal and hotline allow eligible individuals to register for the vaccine at their local county health departments. Again, the Department urges those that are not currently eligible to wait to call until the state has moved into the phase making the individual eligible for the vaccine.
